At least a few experiences with “the artwork of the original manga have more character to them than the mass-produced drawings of its anime adaptation” and “certain moments in the manga get... watered down for the anime” formed an impression in me that seems to mean there’s always a few stacks of particular manga growing ever taller until I’ve finished the anime that got my attention in the first place. After having made a bit of an effort to start into some of those anime (and having read through the latest lengthy volume of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou both right before and in the days after my vacation), I could at last pick up the first volume of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
